About Us

Salvaged trees

TreePurpose of Eau Claire is devoted to using locally salvaged wood sourced from Chippewa Valley neighborhoods. When trees require removal due to hazard or declining health, we consult with forestry professionals to salvage them and give them a second life as high quality furniture and building products that are truly one-of-a-kind.

MILLED IN EAU CLAIRE

After the trees are salvaged, they are transported and cut at our sawmill in rural Eau Claire. Once milled, the wood is carefully stacked and dried until it is ready to be used for projects like yours.

HANDMADE BY ARTISANS

Nature provides the inspiration for our unique designs. All the knots, unusual grain patterns, and color variation—the “imperfections” that mainstream manufacturers cut away and discard—are the features that give each TreePurpose product its unique character that can never be replicated.

"When you work TreePurpose you gain access to not only technical knowledge and skill, but creativity and artistry that's rooted in good taste. The company has an aesthetic understanding of wood and design that takes their work to the next level and creates the kind of results that get buzzed about."

"I had a vision and need for a more ergonomic recording desk here at Pine Hollow. Not only did TreePurpose make the idea a reality, they also added a few features to make the desk even more of an efficient workspace. Sturdy, practical and built to last - that's all I look for and that's all TreePurpose delivers!"
